help with autocompleter ...

[Giovanni Azua <gi...@imc.nl>]

hi all,

I would like to display an autocompleter associated with a 
application-defined Javabean and have it picking up the right key and 
value out of the bean properties (getters). I have hard time following 
the examples as I cant find any that provides the code required on the 
Action side. I would prefer staying away from magical encodings etc just 
to have it pull the Id and Value out of the bean property as shown below.

Say I have e.g.:

********************************************************
@Immutable
class Customer {
    private String id;
    private String name;
    public Customer(String id, String name) {
           this.id=id;
           this.name=name;
    }
    public String getName {
          return name;
    }
    public String getId {
          return id;
    }
}
**********************************************************
public MyAction extends ActionSupport {
    List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>();
    @Override
    public String execute() throws Exception {
        super.execute();
        customers.clear();
        customers.addAll(findSomeCustomers());
        return SUCCESS;
    }
    public List<Customer> getCustomers() {
        return this.customers;
    }
}
**********************************************************
example.jsp
**********************************************************
<s:head theme="ajax"/>       
<s:form action="Something.action" method="post" theme="%{currentTheme}">
     <s:autocompleter name="customer" list="customers" />       
</s:form>

I cant find THE way to say:

autocompleter VALUE is Customer.name
autocompleter KEY is Customer.id

TIA,
regards,
Giovanni

Ohh just found it ... it is using listKey and listValue

**********************************************************
example.jsp
**********************************************************
<s:head theme="ajax"/>      
<s:form action="Something.action" method="post" theme="%{currentTheme}">
    <s:autocompleter name="customer" list="customers" listKey="id" 
listValue="name" />      
</s:form>
